Improper circuit breakers installed
The circuit breakers as installed for my baitwell and bilge pumps are not correct. Baitwell pump draws 2.8 amps but has a 2 amp circuit breaker in the circuit. Pump housing specifies 5 amp breaker should be used. The bilge pump draws 1.9 amps and has a 2 amp breaker in the circuit. Rule website specifies a 2.5 amp breaker.
I have had trouble with these since I bought the boat and finally realized it was these breakers. I would just replace them but I can't find any with proper connections. The woiring harness uses a round terminal and a #8 screw to attach to the tapped terminals on the breaker. I can find slipon connections but not the ones that will accept a screw. I need a 2.5 Amp and a 5 amp breaker with the screw type connectors. I think they should be a warranty item on a 2006 boat but don't know. Can someone please respond, I emailed Russ Bennett at the factory and got no response. If I can get them I'll pay for them. Any help available?? Closest dealer is 100+ miles away.

You could always just cut off the old (current) wire connectors and install the slip on type. It's a really easy thing to do...shoud take about 10 minutes. You should be able to pick up the connectors at Boater's World, West Marine, or a similar type store. Connectors are fairly cheap to boot. Good luck.
